I only needed one more item to “unlock extra savings up to 15%”, so I added an extra item to see what the savings would be. I didn’t think the savings matched what was advertised, so I removed an item to see what the difference was (making sure to screenshot before/after this time). Turns out the price of 3 out of 4 items is the same after an extra 5% discount.

This isn’t the first or even second case I’ve heard about this this week.
It’s a total scam. They just raise the price after one month.
That’s not right at all! Ask customer service what they think and post their response.
The most frustrating thing about S&S for me is that the prices fluctuate wildly from delivery to delivery. I have to waste so much time combing through my subscriptions every time a new one is about to ship, just to make sure I’m not paying extra that week.
Eventually, I ended up having to cancel it all after a few times when I couldn’t double-check and ended up paying more for a few items.
I found it better to simply set up a price alert, and buy non-urgent things when they are at a low price, stocking some extra if necessary.
I find it cheaper and more effective to subscribe and use the initial coupon (usually 25% off), then immediately cancel the subscription after they ship it. Most likely there will be another coupon next time I need the product
The only thing I had as a really reocurring subscription was my cat’s kibble but then I noticed that on some deliveries the price was considerably higher so I switched to buying it at the store market

Does that actually work without raising any red flags on their end?
yup, no issues at all. that’s how i get cheap syrup for my soda stream, every time. the last time it was more than half off, so i bought 5x my normal amount and cancelled the subscription, and then my prime account.

Well, now I’m going to have to try this! LOL
EDIT: That was a bust :( Most of the flavours don’t give the option for S&S, and the ones that do only give a discount on future deliveries (only 5%), not the current one. This is Amazon Canada, so… 😭
😕
Did you actually trusted Amazon bro 💀
See what you did there is, you thought a bunch of money-grabbing billionaires would give you a good deal
STOP USING AMAZON YOU FUCKING DONKEYS
STOP USING AMAZON YOU FUCKING DONKEYS
Then what do I use as an alternative?
Walmart? Ooo so much better lmfao
“Shop local”? Are you gonna subsidize my bank account for the 2x-4x premium it would cost me to “shop local”
Are you suggesting there are no other websites where you can buy what you need, or are you saying they cost a little bit more and have slightly longer delivery times, and that inconveniences you, so you’d rather not support smaller companies?
Thanks for that
There are plenty of websites for the things I want and won’t mind shopping around for a few weeks, the things I need however, is a different story. My choices for something like toilet paper is 15 at Amazon, 15-17 at Walmart, or 20+ at a local store.
I and many others, can’t afford to shop local, we can’t afford it and Walmart is just as bad as Amazon soo Amazon it is
It’s bad enough keeping up with brands to boycott, now people want others to boycott whole retail channels. Boycotting gets expensive.
Push for regulations, vote with your vote not your wallet
EBay, Walmart, newegg and others. I’ve never used Walmart online so I can’t say how good of an experience that is.
For most things I just go to a store in person.
eBay is great for some things
Walmart is just slapping lipstick on a pig and calling it a chicken
Newegg can go fuck off, enshittification came for them LONG ago
You just need to be a good shopper. That’s why online is always going to be problematic.
Be careful of the re-occurring purchases.
